#Surfing Lessons Our Honolulu, Hawaii, instructors will cater your lessons to your specific skill level. Prior to getting in the water, we stress safety and proper protocol. In order to ensure your safety, we offer a 15 to 20-minute land lesson before getting into the ocean. Throughout your lesson, we also make sure to check in with you about your comfort level. All lessons are a total of two hours. As an added safety measure, we require private lessons for children between the ages of five and nine. Age, height and weight are required. This information helps us decide which surfboard fits you best!
We provide all equipment, including rash guards, leashes, shoes, and boards. Water and snacks included
#Location All surf lessons are held on a semi-private beach 10 minutes outside of Waikiki. While Waikiki itself is a stunning oasis, the beaches are incredibly crowded and create a stressful learning environment. At our peaceful, secluded beach, we’ll take you into the waters and guide you through the process of getting acclimated with the waves.
#Photography Photography is offered for $25 per person. We are experienced water photographers and would love to email you awesome shots from your lesson!
